While I don't trust Meta, at all, I can see some reasons for legitimate requests. This could for API access so that the Meta VR headset could work as a substitute for Apples own, in some cases, or Facebook Messenger and iMessage interoperability. I sort of doubt that this is what Meta is trying for, but that would reasonable.

It's probably a bit of both. One part Apple being monopolistic jerks and one part Meta wanting to hoover up even more private data. One issue I can see is that the EU would side with Meta, knowing that the EU privacy laws will protect its citizens, but Apple has to consider the ramification for all users, including those not protect be the GDPR. So Apple is forced to open up and Meta will start using the opening to suck up private information on its American users.
Personal anecdotes. It's always personal anecdotes that coincidentally corroborate whatever position someone was already arguing for. As I noted elsewhere, it would be a lot easier to take these seriously if they weren't so on the nose, and if they instead took the form of "well it seems they have account migration figured out BUT instances are confusing BUT the sign up process is streamlined BUT it's not easy to explain to people..."

It would be clear we were at least talking about things where "the people" had reactions to specific things for specific reasons that were in principle solveable and not merely ghosted into existence to support a point the commenter wanted to make anyway.

I think people see one another doing it and kind of collectively converge on this ritual of collective storytelling where we offer anecdotes that don't offer any kind of truth tracking accountability.

Ask HN: How to program your long term career as a developer?
Hi HN crowd.

I'm a software developer with 12 years of experience across four companies. I've successfully implemented structure into other areas of my life, like strength training and my off-work schedule, which have helped keep my life relatively stress-free and organized.

I'm looking to apply a similar structured approach to my career development to prevent burnout and enhance my growth. I find the typical advice of reading blog posts and staying curious a bit meh and eventually overwhelming over time.
Things that I consider would be enrolling for some online course and staying consistent with it. The problem remains how to properly curate the content to consume?

Does anyone have suggestions or experiences with structured career development plans that have worked well, especially for more seasoned professionals? Anecdotally I remember myself from 10 years ago thinking how my older colleagues aren't even reading an interesting article a day(!). Now I think I'm in similar shoes.
Hey, looks interesting and practical.

I don't think all assistants are that bad in general, but I'm not sure that taking all capabilities and responsibilities (well that point is a bit of an open question with these systems) away from the driver is the right approach.

If you drive like a decent human being (and as required by law in most places), it can be quite safe already, adding complexity may actually cause issues. That some people don't drive that way shouldn't be the reason to force these systems on to everyone, better to do a good job in teaching driving (driving schools in my country are expensive, but otherwise mostly worthless except for the safety training which strangely enough is done after getting the license), etc.

Dealers do not reject claims. They make a large portion of their income from claims. The manufacture rejects claims. if you use the dealer for service they have records of that and so can sometimes prove that the relavent maitenance was done correctly but they want the money from warranty work either way and so they lose if the claim is rejected.

they make money from regular service as well and want you for that. However warranty work is too valuable to them to ignore

Show HN: Chipper AI/RAG Interface for Tinkerers (Ollama, Haystack RAG, Python)
I started this project as a way to help my girlfriend with her new book and to learn a bit about LLMs and RAGs. The idea was to use local embeddings to ask questions about characters and explore creative possibilities, all while keeping everything local. What began as a bunch of a wild colelction of scripts is now growing into a labour of love pet-project. You maybe know how it sometimes goes :)

It's not finished and polished yet, but I've made some good progress and brought it to a much better overall state over Christmas day. I'd love to show it to a few people and get some feedback and contributors. Your thoughts could really help me improve it and make it even better.
SignalRGB, a proprietary RGB control software, has purchased OpenRGB.com and set up a misleading landing page mimicking their own website but branded as 'An Open RGB Platform'. The domain redirects users to SignalRGB downloads through 'https://signalrgb.com/download/?referrer=openrgb' while tracking referrals. OpenRGB.org is the legitimate FOSS project for RGB control.

What's the use of a pan EU military when most EU members are already in NATO? Just to add Austria, Cyprus and Ireland to a pan EU force?

Ask HN: How does Apple Intelligence optimize KV cache?
Hi folks,

Is there any public information on how Apple Intelligence optimizes the KV cache? For instance, in their cloud PCC, they claim to use stateless computing, where the context is sent to the cloud each time. Given that the context can be lengthy and the KV cache quite large, what magic might Apple use to handle this?
> even a functional military-industrial ecosystem -- is basically incompatible with Europe's regulatory

Military ecosystems get a lot of exceptions

These are two completely different things. Yes they don't get praise from me, but if you're planning how your company is going to work, you need to understand the differences (and yes Norway is the worse one here IMHO)

> Depending on the business you're in, it can be smart to incorporate in the Caiman Islands and work out of Europe on a satellite office basis, but you definitely want to limit your exposure to EU rules.

100% agree

But here's what most companies opening shop do: they have accountants and lawyers to help them navigate the bureaucracy (or subcontract some of the compliance work). People here take regulation to be "I've tried nothing and I've ran out of ideas" when it's mostly a subcontracting cost.

Considering security updates, do you think iOS has advantage in speed? Apple’s usually to roll out security updates to all supported iPhones —often for five or six years— nearly instantly, including critical zero-day fixes, which can be deployed overnight. In comparison, while Pixel devices get immediate updates(but it's only available in a handful of countries), Android devices from other manufacturers depend on their update schedules, which can be slow and inconsistent and often ends after about three or four years. Even with top players like Samsung, there are week delays, especially for non-flagship or older models. In your view, does the pace and longevity of Apple’s security updates tip the balance in their favor, or am I just being biased?
Thanks for the links! I think this perfectly captures my frustration here. It's like people have learned nothing and are, once again, making an aesthetic choice.
FWIW the page specifically describes it as the "December Solstice" and has a footnote for that mentioning the specific seasons for each hemisphere. I imagine the author is well aware of how the event varies by geography.

As for what the "entire point" of a greeting is, I'd argue that the "entire point" is a bit of a philosophical question that depends on what you think it means for something to be "the point". Maybe a few thousand years from now, instead of seemingly ignoring the culture and history you refer to, Solsthelion will just be seen as another chapter in the history of the greetings used during this time of year, just like the cultural reference in one common greeting you might encounter this time of year might have seemed transgressive back when it debuted to people fond of previous cultural traditions during the same part of the year.
I suspect, that most of those users did not create such an elaborate setup, that has all those things. But perhaps, if there is a ready made config for all of it somewhere, maybe they are using that?
These exploits work perfectly well on those platforms. The reason you hear about people targeting them less is that they are easier to target with less sophisticated attacks and also not as valuable to attackers. In the cases they are your Android "root" exploit becomes a Linux LPE super fast.
> If you bought a brand new car, the loss of warranty is not worth not bringing it to the dealer.

Yeah, I’m specifically responding to the parent’s comment about the 48GB tier. When you’re looking in that range, it’s usually because you want to pack in as much vram as possible into your rack space, so consumer level cards are off the table. I definitely agree multiple 3090 is the way to go if you aren’t trying to host models for smaller scale enterprise use, which is where 48GB cards shine.
You’re assuming that most women would rather share bathrooms with trans men than with trans women. I suspect that were these mad ideas ever to be fully implemented in practice, we’d find that that was not in fact their revealed preference.

The truth is that most of the people currently stirring up a moral panic around gender are barely even aware of the existence of trans men and simply haven’t thought this through properly. Which isn’t surprising, as they don’t care about the issue itself, but only its potential as a political wedge.
I agree that perihelion is a bad name (or that's my excuse for never remembering which it is) but given perihelion exists, peristice is a better name.
> almost entirely grassroots/bottom-up

Exactly.

I feel it's simply put:

Europe is just further on the left of the `labour - capital` divide. As a region with insane inherited capital (all the old money), this makes perfect sense.

A lot of US media laments the corporatism of the US, and in the next article lambaste EU regulations... not understanding the irony of their position.

The EU took its tradeoffs seriously, and committed to them. Whether it's a good position... I can't tell, really. Can't see the future. But it's a very visible and understood tradeoff:

Pressure the top 5% to provide for the bottom 95%. You can't get laid off and stress about food - because a failure includes paying all the laid off employees a severance. It's bad for starting a business... but is it bad for the people and the society at large? Call me a socialist, but I think people shouldn't have their livelihoods depend on the 2-week cycle of salary.

Should there be a framework for a more risk-hungry sector? Probably, something to mimic the US, but the avenues for abuse are exploited the moment loopholes open.

TLDR: Europe, and Europeans, do not _want_ the trillion dollar companies.
> Americans intuit that it’s not

Any evidence for this?
It appears that you are the one attempting to rewrite, the claim is that both cooling and warming were reported on in mass media, not that just one was.

One can't search for this stuff without coming across lots of both warming and cooling articles. And one finds tons of intentional deception pushing cooling articles. Here's a Reuters article calling out one bit of misinformation pushing cooling articles that were not actually about cooling:

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/time-magazine-front-cover...

My question is why there is such a modern push to decieve about cooling in the mass media? What purpose does it serve for people?

What does L&D mean?
By Betteridge's law of headlines, the answer is clearly "no".[1]

But also, LLM's in general build a lossy compression of their training data so are not the right tool if you want a completely accurate recall.

Will the recall be accurate enough for a particular task? Well I'm not a religious person so I have no framework to help decide that question in the context of the bible. If you want a system to answer scripture questions I would expect a far better approach than just an LLM would be to build a RAG system and train the RAG embedding and search at the same time you train the model.

The trick you describe is possible in Haskell also. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/simple-reflect does it by providing a `Num` instance for a particular type.

I'm surprised that you say an imperative language would give you an _easier_ embedding than using Haskell. I would have said the reverse: Haskell makes it impossible to confuse an imperative command used during AST assembly with a representation of an imperative command. That's one of the payoffs of using monads.
I don't actually think this is true; I just think that waiting for nation-states to show up in your logs is the wrong way to go about it.
Yes! Thanks for the links.

Is it? I mean before COVID and especially before 2008 EU was thriving and in reality there wasn‘t substantially more or less regulation back then. (Yes GDPR came, but I highly doubt that this was a major factor).

In my opinion EU countries missed web 2.0 and where way to risk averse and old school to invest in those startups, that is why many founders moved to US. But I don‘t think regulation is the major factor, may be A reason, but I doubt it is THE reason.

I think most of the „bad“ regulation is actually national. EU regulation in many cases makes it easier to make business than the respective national laws. Tax for example is mainly national. Despite some attempts of unification.

“Effective but infuriating” UI treatments aren’t good enough for consumer electronics. Do you remember the UAC popups in Windows Vista, and how that got turned into a punchline on late-night standup and even in Apple’s own TV ads? Apple even did a little bit of this with the new filesystem permissions upon upgrading to (I think) Sierra, and got pilloried for it, even by experienced technology users. The thing you’re talking about would be many times more invasive.

> A good alternative would be for Apple to remove APIs entirely, including for themselves. If they consider some data and some interactivity to be too dangerous for users, perhaps they shouldn't be messing with it either.

I don’t want this and it doesn’t make any sense. I trust Apple as a vendor in a way I don’t trust third-party developers (or else I wouldn’t have purchased an iPhone), and it’s entirely reasonable to grant them permissions I don’t grant anybody else. Removing those entirely makes my phone considerably less useful.
Pcem is still being actively developed, even though Sarah Walker said she wasn't working on it anymore.
Cell internet, same as your phone. The car manufactures get a bulk deal with the cell companies for data which means their cost is much less than yours. They are likely to have some sort of kick us off when busy (for non-emergency) deal in place - the data can be up loaded tommorow or use last weeks maps. They will get a separate deal with some carrier in every country instead of roaming.
